Title: 3 chert, 3 obsidian
Post by: Stringman on April 13, 2015, 09:52:29 pm: These 6 were made to order for a fellow hunter. Good thing he was patient with me, cause I liked to never got em made! The first 3 came pretty quick, but then I started breaking about every time I'd sit down.

After that I just had to settle down and come back to it every couple days until the feel came back. Eventually, I pulled it together and got em done.
